Verheffing van de prins van Oranje tot stadhouder, penning uitgedeeld aan de wachthebbende burgers van de stad Amsterdam ter ere van de doortocht van de prins door de stad 1747

This silver medal, created by Johann Conrad Marmé in 1747, commemorates the appointment of Prince William IV as Stadholder of the Netherlands. The obverse depicts a female figure seated on a throne, symbolizing the Netherlands, with a burning torch, a tree, and a banner inscribed “Stadhouder” behind her. The reverse inscription, in Dutch, commemorates the occasion with the date May 12, 1747. This medal, which was distributed to the citizens of Amsterdam, is a powerful reminder of the importance of this historical event.
